Description
  
  
Modern Physics is a one-semester course covering major concepts of twentieth-century physics; the modern concepts in physics and their applications: relativity, blackbody radiation, the Bohr atom, particles and waves, quantum mechanics, atoms, molecules, solids, statistical mechanics, radioactivity, nuclei, and elementary particles. While classical physics is generally concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of observation, much of modern physics is concerned with the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions or on the very large (the universe) or very small (sub-atomic level) scale.
